How to read this number

The number of live animals in the country, from the FAO’s livestock “stocks” statistics. Item: Ducks.

Only countries with animals counted above zero are listed; countries with none, or with no FAO figure, are not ranked. Counting methods and dates differ by country, and many figures are FAO estimates. This is the number of animals, not the amount of meat, milk or eggs they produce.

  • Countries listed: 80 (of 193)
  • Data years: 2023–2024 (differs by country)
  • 73 countries use 2024 data
